Wii Fit U Direct - details
- Introduction to the Direct is done by the Wii Fit trainer.
- 19 new training activities and the ones from the previous Wii Fit games are included. Makes it 77 now.
- ''We hope that you like the new look of the Wii Fit U trainer, inspires you to perform better.''
- With the Fit Meter, you can now have a better look at the calories you burn.
- It is not a Pedometer, but an Activity meter as it uses a 3-axis accelerometer.
- Pressure sensor can measure changes in altitude. This can make certain that the calories you burn are accurate.
- Fit meter must be attached to the hip, because this lowers measurement error.
- Meter displays calories burned, steps, target calories, elevation difference from home, time, temperature, METs Graph, elevation graph and a graph of calories burned. Data can be transferred through IR port of the GamePad.
- Graphs in the Wii Fit U software will go in accurate detail of your progress now, which is a nice touch.
- After a discussion of graphs, Iwata moves on. If you fail your goal by walking, the game can recommend activities for you.
- There is also a seperate mode called Fit Meter challenge, which uses your steps or altitude for special challenges.
- The Fit meter will be released in Europe and North America on November 1st.
- Iwata wants people to make use of the game's online stuff. Like announced before, you can make a gym community on Miiverse.
- You make sure that you have similar goals. Will see the progress of others and can compare stats.
- One month free trial of Wii Fit U, if you have bought the previous entries. The downloading begins on November 1st in EU and NA. Japan will get to start a day ealier though as they can download on October 31.
- Can use it for month though, as after that it's useless. If you purchase a Fit Meter, you will be able to continue to play. Fit meter is $19.99
- Iwata is aware of the issue with storage and the basic pack. ''Consider getting an external drive!''
- The regular DL version will be released on... February 1st worldwide. Packaged version with Meter (and Balance Board if you need it). December 6 in Europe and December 13 in North America. The packaged version in Japan in delayed until February 1st.
- You can now use the balance board in Wii Street U and it is available right now.
- Iwata reminds us that Wii Street U is available for free until October 31, 2013.
- Finally, Wii Sports is becoming a download software title on Wii U. This title of the software is called Wii Sports Club.
- All the sports have been upgraded to work just with Wii Remote Plus tech.
- There is now also online multiplayer, which was a request from the fans apparently.
- You are playing as a registered member of a club. This can be state or regional.
- There will be communication by special made Miiverse functions. Face off friendly with club members or defeat other clubs.
- The software serves as a hub, from which you can select the sports. You have to purchase all the sports seperately though.
- Available for download on November 7, 2013 in Europe and NA. October 30 in Japan. Tennis and Bowling will be available from the software's launch.
- Single sports pass (Club Pass in NA) will set you back €9.99/£8.99/$9.99/1000 Yen. This allows you to purchase a sport at your own leisure.
- There is also a day pass, which sets you back €1.99/£1.79/$1.99/200 Yen. This gives you unlimited access to the sports for 24 hours.
- Wii Sports Club is available to play for free in the first 24 hours. That was the presentation!
